Irish Session Tunes: The Orange Book

Special Order

Irish Session Tunes: The Orange Book

selected by Brid Cranitch

Book/CD pack. More session tunes collected in sets so that you can work on transitions as well as tunes. Meant to follow "The Blue Book" (01-900085), this time the emphasis is on reels, which are more difficult for the learning musician. 86 tunes in 36 sets of 2, 3 or 4 tunes each. Includes "Over the Moor/Dowd's No. 9," "Maids of the Castlebar/Kiss Me Kate," "Dillon's Fancy/Bird in the Bush," and more reels, plus a few jigs. CD has each part of the tune repeated, but the entire tune is played only once (and then transitions to the next tune.) When parts are repeated, the second time varies the melody. With Sheila Garry, fiddle and Brid Cranitch, piano. 45 pp.
